The Streets Session Agreement Form

CUSTOM PET PORTRAITURE

Inspired by my work with rescue animals, this style of photography is dedicated to capturing the form, texture, colors, and details of your canine pal. This is a 60 minute urban shoot that takes place in downtown Ann Arbor. An alternative location may be chosen for a travel fee. The purpose of this session is to create LARGE artwork for display at home or office.

RESERVE YOUR SESSION

The Streets Session includes the following:

+ One pet
+ Time and talent of the photographer: Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes, but I'll take however long is necessary to get the perfect shots!
+ Pre-session consultation meeting
+ Digital retouching of 25-45 images and private online proofing gallery
+ Sneak preview and full entry on my blog
+ Ordering Session (Optional)

INVESTMENT

There is no minimum purchase; however, clients typically spend $750 or more on their portraits. Prints start at $35 and portrait collections start at $450 (which offer savings over a-la-carte pricing)

CANCELLATION POLICY

Sometimes things come up that can’t be worked around. If you need to cancel your session, please let me know as soon as possible. I will make every effort to re-schedule your session to a time that is more convenient. Your session fee will apply to the re-scheduled session as long as you make a reasonable effort to notify me promptly of your conflict. Cancellations without notice forfeit their session fee and an additional session fee will be required to book a new session. I also reserve the right to re-schedule a session due to illness, emergency, inclement weather, etc.

PHOTO TURNAROUND TIME

Kat Ku Photography will strive to complete sessions, editing and orders in a timely manner. Photos will be ready for viewing and ordering within four to six weeks of your session and will be posted to a password-protected gallery. The images will be online for 2 weeks, and the client is encouraged to order in a timely manner. Once an order is placed, production can take up to 4-6 weeks, depending on the product. Clients can pick up their products at a predetermined location in Ann Arbor, or pay for shipping/delivery.

Your proofing gallery is private but feel free to share your password with friends and family. If you have special requests, feel free to ask. Color photos can be printed in black and white, and vice versa. I can crop the image tighter or differently. If something is not possible, I will let you know. Requested photo enhancements or edits to designed albums are made within one week.

STUDIO POLICIES

About 3-6 weeks after the client session, KKP will post an online gallery featuring the best images from the session; sessions usually yield 30 or more.

PHOTO COLOR

Due to differences in monitor and printer calibration, the color of the printed piece may vary from what you see on screen or what prints on your printer.

DIGITAL FILES

If you have purchased your digital files, you may make unlimited prints for your own personal use. I will provide you with a written image release to print or display the files but retain the copyright for all images. Under NO circumstances may they be represented as your own work, sold or used commercially or for profit in any form. Your digital files have been carefully edited, retouched, and color corrected. If you are using an uncalibrated monitor, they may not appear perfect on your screen. Do not try to correct or adjust them. As I have no control over where you decide to print your digital files, I am not responsible for the quality or color fidelity of prints made from purchased digital files.

ARCHIVE

I will archive the images that you ordered for at least 3 months after your session. Beyond that, I cannot guarantee that your images will be available for subsequent orders.

LIMIT OF LIABILITY

I take the utmost care with respect to exposure, safeguarding and delivery of digital files and photographs. However, the possibility of damage or loss is conceivable. In the event that all the photographs and/or digital files have been lost, stolen, or destroyed for reasons within or beyond my control, including non-performance, my entire liability to you for any arising claim is limited to the return of all payments received for the session. The limit of liability for partial loss of the originals shall be a prorated amount based on the session fee and the percentage of originals lost. Compensation is limited to and will not exceed the total paid session cost. If possible, a re-shoot will be scheduled.

ORDER REFUNDS & CANCELLATION FEES

I work from start to finish to produce a product that you will be delighted with. If for some reason you are not completely happy with your session or products, I will work with you until you are completely satisfied or provide a partial refund at my discretion. All orders are subject to cancellation fees. 100% design fee if any editing or design work has been done. 100% of the entire invoice amount if the job has been approved and sent to print.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The client assumes all responsibility for their animal(s) or any other subjects during the session, including any and all destruction of personal, business or public property, personal injury or illegalities. Know your animal(s) and their behavior and limitations before bringing them to the studio or any public area. Please disclose any behavioral or aggression issues before your session.
